It's Sunday morning and I feel good! Friday was my last treatment of cycle#2. Treatment went fine...had both drugs but all and all uneventful. Appointment was at 3:00, we left around 1:30 or so because we didn't know how traffic would be with the President in Boston, but traffic was better then normal made it in there in no time. Bernie's sister Linda met us in there and stayed with us during treatment! Having someone else there makes the time fly by much quicker! I was home around 7:00 or so and was heading straight to bed when Sean called and said UNH hockey game was on TV and he would be throwing our the fish on the first goal....so I stayed down stairs and watched the game (DVR it also!). So I finally got to see my son through out the fish...it was cool! But, you should see his mustache...I hate it. And it's 40 degrees and he's wearing shorts!!!!! So I enjoyed seeing him on TV but...! Bernie called him about the shorts and he said all his jeans where dirty...so I guess he's not doing laundry very much! As a joke yesterday I sent him a TXT and told him to shave! So pretty quite weekend with no children home. Caitlin had first aid classes this weekend as a requirement for her job at the YMCA so she stayed at school. Next weekend is Halloween so I know neither will be home then...that's OK...they need to enjoy themselves! Yesterday Bernie got called into work...which was fine we weren't doing anything and the OT money is great...so he worked from 4:00 to midnight! I was on line checking some things and found the website of the team Joey's hockey team was playing and found a link that you could watch on the web. So I called Bob & Sharon and they came up and we watched Joey's game. They ended up losing 3 -2 in OT. But it was cool to be able to watch again....picture not as clear as the AHLLIVE site but it's ok!
So moving forward for me...
First my blood pressure has begun to raise....side effect of Avastin...so i am suppose to take my blood pressure each day and if the bottom # is over 90 three days in a row, I need to call them because next week I'm off...no treatment...no doctor visits! My free week!!!
Then on Monday Nov 2nd I am scheduled for my CT scan, I'll see the doctor on Weds Nov 4th to find out results of scan....if tumors have stayed the same or are getting smaller....I'll continue 2 more cycles on same drugs and it will start right away...treatment on Friday, Nov 6th. If it's not working....then we will discuss next options, but next options will not continue right away, I'll need to take a break and let these drugs work there way out of my system.
So let's hope its working and I continue of these drugs for another 8 weeks...because they are definitely doable. I be live I can continue like this another 8 weeks especially if I know its working!
Physiologically I'm in a good place...I am focusing on other things other then this C word and continuing forward with my life.
So I'll update this so everyone knows whats up as the next couple of weeks unravel!
